Standing tall above
it all, the mountain remains impartial. Impartial to the winds that blow upon
it, indifferent to the snows that fall atop its peak, unmoved by the green that
grows below its tree line. It can be climbed but never conquered. Its stillness
should be the goal of every mind. Do not mistake its quiet for any sign of
weakness. There is always the one snowflake that can trigger a most unfortunate
avalanche upon the one who does not travel wisely.
